My pygtk2 version is 1.99.12-7 (the RPM package being used is pygtk2-devel-1.99.12-7, in a RedHat 8.0 installation).
It looks very old (version suggests pre-stable release).
However, I didn't have stability problems.
Does anyone else have experience in using both Tk and GTK (in Python and/or other languages)? If yes, what do you have to say about the relative merits of both packages?
I've used pytgk (2.2.0 installed) with glade as a proof of concept when researching various toolkits/languages for cross platform devel, worked quite well here.
What was yucky in your experience?
1. This was fixed in a more recent release: PyGTK didn't have bindings to gtk.TreeRowReference i.e. original PyGTK did not implement bindings to everything available from GTK.
2. gtk.TreeView (when used with gtk.ListStore) has the following bizarre bug.
I want a callback to be called each time the user selects a row. The callback is to identify the newly-selected row and do something.
However I find that the first time an user selects a row, the 1st row is selected (this seems to be associated with the widget getting the focus). The user needs to click again to select the row which he really wanted to select.
Nowhere in the GTK or PyGTK documentation did I find any hint what could cause this behavior and how can I have it turned off.
Another issue which bothers me is the quality of PyGTK documentation which I found. While PyGTK documents all functions, the documentation is very cursory. In particular, there are very few (if at all) examples how a function might be profitably used. I have to refer to C GTK documentation in order to understand what a function does and how to use it.
On the other hand, Tk is very well documented, and it is easy for me to comprehend the mapping between Tk (Tcl/Tk) and Tkinter (Python/Tk) wherever Tkinter documentation is not sufficiently detailed.
